Ingredients

• 2 large corn tortillas
• 300 grams Halal chicken breast, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, diced
• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Brush both sides of the corn tortillas with a little olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and golden.
3. While the tortillas are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
4. Add the diced Halal chicken to the skillet and season with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from heat and set aside.
6. In a bowl, combine the black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado. Season with a pinch of salt and mix gently.
7. Once the tortillas are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
8. To assemble, place a layer of shredded lettuce on each tostada, followed by a generous scoop of the chicken mixture and then the bean and vegetable mix.
9. Top with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro.
10. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tostadas.
